What an absolute work of Art!
But is that a John Deere emblem?

It could be a Massey Ferguson for all I care, That is one awesome streetfighter!

Although I'm not a great fan of streetfighters etc, I love Confederates - seriously cool.

Nice find Kwack, I like that too, although still can't quite figure why there is the need to always go with HD derived motors. Just imagine how much shorter it could be with an inline 4 engine.
Bloody impressive build though and turbo'd to boot

I may be wrong Dale but if I remember, Confederate engines are not HD lumps.

Never mind HD lumps or IL4s, how about a V60

i think they use a hardly lump as a base then modify it.....
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Don't like that at all!
I can admire the engineering but the looks - just doesn't do it for me.

I can't help but think of a line from a Rodney Rude song.
"Holy sh*t, she's f**king ugly!"
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
